Re:Steam Frame starts at $1059 on Monday September 14, 2026 @02:10PM (#49701307)
With the software being open source I wonder if the quest 3 will get owned so that eventually we can run steam frame sw on it
What do you do when these lookups return the company that owns the number but the company says that they are not in control of the number? E.g, I have one number that keeps harassing me that reports as Verizon but Verizon says they have not been with Verizon since 2024.

Also great tool, thank you

There is some evidence that it can help against self inoculation and immune response to an existing infection

You should try out the Infuse app. It’s a fantastic front end for jellyfin on Apple TV (and other Apple products)

It is a $1/month for some of the advanced encoding though

The comment you've replied to is about the Galleri test by Grail. It tests for early _detection_ of cancer, not likelihood of cancer. Meaning, you _have_ cancer. Knowing you have cancer (hopefully early) is actionable...
Re:Ask HN: Have you seen this eBay scam? I am out $277 on Wednesday September 20, 2023 @06:02PM (#37590791)
pretty off topic --

Recently I have been getting acquainted with Aliexpress. For eBay, I look for significant history with over 99% positive feedback.

For Aliexpress, is there a positive feedback threshold you hold yourself to? Recently I bought some 3d printer parts from TriangleLab (which I know is reputable) but they had a ~98% positive feedback rate which gave me pause.

Do you have a favorite device you use? I've been considering getting something "smart" to auto log my BP.
Reddit does this and it's very frustrating

OTA-upgradable means automakers are siphoning your data and selling it off to who knows where. Speed, gps, brake, etc. Hundreds of pieces of data. I'm sure insurance companies are actively buying this data up.

Re:Ask HN: How do you manage and consume movies etc.? on Saturday April 16, 2022 @06:33PM (#31056675)
I have not -- I like Jellyfin because it's docker based and it has inter-op with Infuse (apple tv) and VLC. All my other home services are running in a small k8s cluster. So if I ever want to move where jellyfin lives it'll be seamless.
Re:Ask HN: How do you manage and consume movies etc.? on Tuesday April 12, 2022 @08:41PM (#31009924)
nas (synology) + jellyfin running on that nas

radarr auto downloads and organizes the movies (if you're into that kind of thing)

The killer feature for me would be time filter. Google doesn't work because the dates listed on the results never match the date of the original post. For example, something posted 7 years ago will be marked as posted recently on Google. I assume this is some SEO bullshit that Reddit is pulling.

I've posted about this a lot as I use site:reddit.com extensively.

Ask HN: Being bombarded by recruiter emails, all same pattern

I can't stand these emails and I get _a lot_ of them.All the emails follow the same pattern:- Tech startups- One initial email with them being very impressed with my background- two "gentle nudge" followups- All the links are prefixed with "znsrc.com"Looking at the original email, I can't seem to find what company is hosting my information on their platform so I can ask them to remove...

The problem with using Reddit specifically is that you can't filter by date anymore. Reddit has poisoned their results to show old posts with new dates on Google.
Re:Ask HN: Has Google search become quantitatively worse? on Tuesday November 30, 2021 @08:19PM (#29399546)
Sadly this no longer works either. Reddit is now doing some SEO work to mark stuff as a later date than posted.

You can search "warmest winter coat site:reddit.com" and filter by past year, only to get a result from 7 years ago.

I really don't know how to search the web anymore.

Agree. If the OP's concern is the Gamestop fiasco, then IB is just as bad as Robinhood.
Re:Ask HN: What Are the Alternatives to Robinhood? on Thursday January 28, 2021 @10:12PM (#25953312)
Don't use Interactive Brokers. They halted GME today. Interactive Brokers chairman on CNBC, asked why they halted trading: "Honestly, to protect ourselves": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RH4XKP55f

E-trade and TD Ameritrade halted GME today as well.

Same bullshit as Robinhood.

Re:Ask HN: What do you do with your Raspbery Pi 4? on Saturday September 05, 2020 @10:24PM (#24388488)
Do you do transcoding on your Pi?
I did word it poorly, and you captured what I was trying to get at (thanks).

The benefit is for people that need to withdraw from their 401k before retirement without getting hit with the interest/fees. I guess another part of the benefit is if you want to take advantage of employer match but you don't want to invest in your 401k.

I didn't know about self directed retirement. I'll have to go do some research.

Can someone set up a "professionally managed fund" where you can set up an LLC, have the fund invest your 401k in that LLC, pay yourself a salary equal to the amount invested? Bypassing early withdrawal fees for some nominal fee?
Re:A Hidden Origin Story of the CBD Craze on Saturday May 23, 2020 @07:42PM (#23287666)
Another loophole is delta8-THC[1]. d8-THC is derived from CBD[2]. It _does_ occur naturally in hemp flower, however not in any significant amount (yet). delta8 gets you high, without the anxiety. Typically it's consumed mixed with cannabis terpenes[3] in a vape pen, or consumed orally. With so much CBD flower production happening and the pricing race to the bottom, more and more d8 vendors are popping up. The arbitrarily set d9-THC limit isn't preventing anyone from getting high, it's only hurting growers that accidentally produce "hot" flower. You can find discussion about d8 in those subreddits you mentioned as well.
